Abstract
The influence of the interface morphology on exciton transport is studied by space- and time-resolved spectroscopy of GaAs/As quantum wells grown continuously and with growth interruption. The growth-interrupted quantum wells exhibit smaller lifetimes than continuously grown structures due to nonradiative contributions to recombination. The exciton mobility, in contrast, is significantly higher in the growth-interrupted samples, reflecting a reduction of interface-roughness scattering.
